If we really wanna call it that. Picked up the kit and was disappointed with the quality. So I started cutting and attempting new things (none worked according to plan). And this is where we're at.

Probably gonna just slap it together in the next couple of days and stick it on the shelf as done

Yes yes it was. I got it thinking of the older kits they did. They were always quality but not this kit

One of those would make a great trophy for this build with a checkered flag
